Why Fall prevention matters: Understanding the risks and Impact of falls.

Roma’s Journey to Confidence: A Story of Strength

Roma had always found joy in the simple things—her morning walks, the aroma of spices in her kitchen, and the peaceful prayers at the temple. But after her hip replacement, a sudden fall had shaken her confidence. The fear of falling again kept her from stepping outside, making her feel trapped in her own home. She was got to us by her daughter We started working on her balance and gait. 

One day, we gently reassured her, “Roma, confidence comes with practice. Let’s start small.” We worked on balance exercises, strengthening her legs and improving her posture. With time, she learned how to walk with stability, using the right techniques to prevent falls.

Her daughter encouraged her to cook again, arranging a sturdy chair by the counter so she could prepare meals safely. Slowly, Roma’s spirit lifted. She ventured out for short walks, first with support, then on her own. The day she finally stepped into the temple after months, she felt a surge of happiness—she was reclaiming her life.

Fall prevention wasn’t just about avoiding another accident; it was about giving Roma the confidence to live fully again. With the right precautions and support, she wasn’t just walking—she was thriving.

Can you reverse Parkinson's disease?

Image
I  was at a family gathering, and I was approached by an elder who was about 60 years old and she told me looking at her trembling hand, do you think I have Parkinsons? Its not the first time I have been approached at a party, family function or even a funeral with symptoms and asking for an instant solution or that one exercise that can solve the problem. But this time it was far more shocking, as she thought her hand tremors was Parkinsons. Just to make it clear, Tremors are not equal to Parkinsons. Its best to get diagnosed with a neurologist and have a chart planned out instead of self diagnosis.  But after positive diagnosis, is it the end of the world? No, even if its a progressive movement disorder , we can slower the progress, plateau it and a lot of times reverse the symptoms. But does Parkinsons go away? A very common question asked to us, when we tell them we need minimum 3 months with them to get them functionally better. Parkinsons is like Diabetes or any other...

Why I chose Neuro physiotherapy?

  Why I chose Neuro physiotherapy? I was 12years old when my grandmother suffered right sided paralysis sitting in the hospital with support and the soup started dripping from her left side while I was feeding her and the doctor walked in saying ‘ She is discharged, now everything is on the physiotherapist to make her walk’. That was the very first time I heard the word “physiotherapist” and had no idea what it meant. It was 2001 and it took us 5 days of searching, asking, going through the yellow pages to find a physiotherapist.  We started physiotherapy for her, at home first and it was tough to imagine he came without any equipments and just treated her with his hands. My grandmother was a very independent lady so it was very difficult for her to ask help for basic tasks like sitting to standing or even going to the washroom. The rehabilitation went on for 6 months and finally at the end of 6 months she was able to walk a whole circle of Shivaji park which is 1.2 km in ...
